On the show this week we celebrate the imminent 80th birthday (and therefore automatic entry into the Project Moonbase Hall of Fame) of those two giants of popular culture, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner.

We have “music” by these two gentlemen as well as extensive debate on the merits of each of them (through the medium of Shatner/Nimoy TopTrumps). There are also curious and puzzling arrangements of the Star Trek theme for theremin, musical saw and the ukulele.

In addition to all the Shatnoy, we also have more from Dayton, Ohio, some chiptune and a fabulous keytar medley of Michael Jackson hits by Brett Domino.

This week MC Zirconium asks that we go up to the tower, to the very top. There look about you and when you’ve decided what you like best of all that you see come back and tell me.
